Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Norton Bike

The first week of the New Year is over, Christmas decorations are down and all packed away for another year and we are well into the first challenge of the year at Crafty Boots Challenges.

I have another card to share with you today which uses 'Something Old and Something New'.


This card features Delicious Doodles 'Vintage Norton Motorcycle', it is a digi stamps that I bought last year but never got around to using.  I coloured it with F&C polychromos pencils and mounted it on some card from my stash.  The almost perfectly coordinated backing paper and boarder, are from Studio Calico, and were a present from the very generous Stephanie-Emma.  The sentiment and peel offs are from my stash and the motorcycle charm is something else I have had a while but never used before.

Don't forget about the Crafty Boots Challenges challenge.

      Thank you Pamellia, this card was one that just fell together, I thought that the papers sort of looked like a dirt track with skid marks and, what a great coincidence, it was the same colour as the bike!

      I have made good use of my new Studio Calico papers, but I think this was my favourite, it matched the bike image so well.
